From Cars to Watches — A Love of Craftsmanship
I'm Tyler, and I've loved cars since I was a little boy. The craftsmanship, the engineering, the art of a well-built machine — it captivated me from the start. I have friends deep in the JDM scene, I've always had a soft spot for muscle cars (currently driving a C7 Z06), and there's something about a Porsche 911 that just speaks to me. Then there are the exotics like the 488 Pista — pure automotive art.
That same appreciation led me to watches. My first real piece was a Hublot Classic Fusion. Wearing it, I felt like royalty — and from that moment, I caught the watch bug. Now I'm just as passionate about a $3,000 Panerai as I am about a $150,000 Patek. It's not about the price tag. It's about the artistry, the heritage, and the craftsmanship that goes into every piece.
I also have a deep appreciation for fine art — for the same reasons. When something is made with intention, skill, and soul, you can feel it.
What Drives Me
Horology
From Panerai to Patek Philippe, I appreciate the full spectrum of watchmaking. Every piece tells a story of engineering and artistry.
Automobiles
JDM legends, American muscle, German precision, Italian exotics — if it's built with passion, I'm interested. Currently behind the wheel of a C7 Z06.
The Outdoors
Born and raised in Portland, I've always been outdoorsy. Last year I summited Mt. Hood and backpacked through Banff in 30-degree weather. The mountains keep me grounded.
The Independent Dealer Difference
When I tell you about a Panerai or a Hublot, it's from experience — from wearing it, living with it, knowing how it feels on a hot summer day. The salesman at the boutique is reading off a spec sheet. I've owned these pieces.
Real Experience
I've worn the watches I sell. I know the comfort, the weight, the questions people ask — because I've asked them myself.
Better Value
No fancy storefront. No big staff. Lower overhead means I can get you watches faster and at better prices.
Reputation is Everything
This business is word of mouth. No walk-in traffic. I have every reason to treat every client like my last — because my reputation is my business.

You're not a number here. When you reach out, you get me — someone who genuinely cares about matching you with the right piece.
